1 Online Appendix to Quality Disclosure Programs and Internal Organizational Practices: Evidence from Airline Flight Delays By SILKE J. FORBES, MARA LEDERMAN AND TREVOR TOMBE Appendix A: Identifying Reporting Technology at the Aircraft Level We only have information on the reporting technology that each airline uses beginning in March We can safely assume that carriers that are manual reporters in 1998 are also manual reporters in prior years because, if their planes do not have ACARS in 1998, they would not have ACARS prior to For the carriers that use a combination of manual and automatic reporting, we do not know which or how many of their aircraft are equipped with ACARS. Therefore, we develop an approach for identifying specifically which of their aircraft is likely to be reporting manually. We use the same method to verify that carriers that are automatic reporters in 1998 also reported automatically from Specifically, we identify a manual plane based on whether delays on the flights carried out by this plane are rounded in a way that is similar to how the manual reporters appear to round their delays. We are able to do this because we can track planes in our data by tail number. Thus, for each aircraft in each year of our data, we calculate the fraction of its flights in that year that have a reported arrival delay of exactly zero. We then compare the distribution of this plane-year level variable across airlines which report their on-time data in different ways. Table A1 below shows the distribution of this variable for the 10 airlines who reported in The 95 th percentile of the distribution of this variable for American Airlines (an automatic reporter) is which indicates that only about 1 percent of American s planes arrived with a delay of zero minutes more than 4.6% of the time. Contrast this to America West (a manual reporter): 50% of its planes landed with a reported delay of zero more than 4.7% of the time. Southwest is an outlier with the 50 th percentile of its distribution being 11.7%, far higher than any other airline s. Based on this table, we categorize any plane that has reported delays of zero for more than 5% of its flights in any year as a manual plane for every year of our sample. We see this as a conservative approach to identifying manual planes since it classifies a plane as manual based on it meeting the criteria described above in only a single year. Using this approach, we classify 85 of Continental s 441 planes (19%) and 22 of TWA s 241 planes (9%) as manual.
